Rates seem reasonable and if you're flying, there's an airport bus stop within about a block of the hotel, although of course they would prefer to arrange for car service.....There are a couple boutique hotels on the riverfront that might be better and an artsy place outside of the historic district that might be the best hotel in town, but I was very happy to stay at the Andaz as a Glob.
Just a little nitpick here... my understanding is that hotels cannot deny you the opportunity to order "off the menu" IF a menu is available for breakfast. The T&C's are pretty clear on this point, and I've confirmed it at multiple hotels (because I hate buffets and typically never order it). I've only had ONE hotel claim I couldn't order from the menu and a call to the General Manager confirmed they were in error...
